So, the Susan G. Komen for the Cure 3-Day began this morning here in Washington. I'm a bit sad, feel like I should be there, but at least this year the event is being represented by my cousin Alicia, family-wise. It's her first, so I hope she does better than my mother and I fared back in 2006 (when Mom ended up in the CCU with severe dehydration ( Read more... )

I heard this "music" clip featured on a radio program this morning and thought it was...well, interesting. There's no way to describe it, except to visit the link, read off the list of voices you'll hear in the song, and, well, listen to it. It's sort of a "mash-up", Christmas-style.
